More than half of the Palestinians killed have been shot dead following alleged knife attacks on Israelis.On Tuesday, Amnesty International condemned Israel’s excessive use of force, stating that “Israeli forces have carried out a series of unlawful killings of Palestinians using intentional lethal force without justification.”Philip Luther, Director of the Middle East and North Africa Programme at Amnesty International, said, “there is mounting evidence that, as tensions have risen dramatically, in some cases Israeli forces appear to have ripped up the rulebook and resorted to extreme and unlawful measures.”“They seem increasingly prone to using lethal force against anyone they perceive as posing a threat, without ensuring that the threat is real.”
